MARYLAND — There are 66,450 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in Maryland, state health officials reported Saturday.

In the past 24 hours, the state has conducted more than 10,400 tests, according to Gov. Larry Hogan, who reported 8.5 percent of Maryland's population has been tested as of Saturday.

The positivity rate in the state is 4.86 percent on a rolling, seven-day average, according to the Maryland Department of Health.

Marylanders should continue practicing preventive measures like wearing face coverings and ensuring physical distance between one another, Hogan said Friday, after data showed that people under 35 were testing positive for the virus at a rate that was 34 percent higher than their elders.

Said Hogan: "We simply cannot afford to stop being vigilant and cautious."
